He's talking about the Old Testament.

Which is a substantial part of the Bible.

^ the size of Xerxes army is debated, it ranges from 400,000-5,000,000 depending on which source you look at. Herodotus from my understanding as an ancient history student is the best primary source to look up if numbers really mean something.

There were no christians near that area. Greece was not Christian, neither was Perisa or any of its states. There cant be any referecne, Herodotus and Plutarch are only men who recorded that battle.

Actually, 300 is a myth created by Frank Miller. It is modern myth.

Basically Miller just used a historical event, the Battle of Thermopolyae (480 BCE), and twisted it to make his own little world of comics. That's then converted into a film.

Historically there were 6-7000 warriors in total. The 300 Spartan warriors were King Leonidas' personal bodyguards. On the final day, 1000 non-Spartan Greeks stayed behind with Leonidas' 300, and they were all annihilated to the last man.

I think there was an unspoken assumption that 300 was indeed based on a real historical event.

I do remember someone at a different forum that was talking as if 300 was based on facts.

^ every scene they have created is historically accurate, read the sources by Plutarch and Herodotus and you will see that the movie is as close as it can possibly be to accurate. Maybe dress code, and some minor details have been distorted but the bulk of the movie is perfect.
